SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung carcinoma (SD-NSCLC) is a relatively rare tumor, which occurs in 5-10% of NSCLC. Based on World Health Organization thoracic tumor classification system, SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (SD-UT) is recognized as a separate entity from SD-NSCLC. Differentiation between SD-NSCLC and SD-UT is often difficult due to shared biological continuum, but often required for choosing appropriate treatment regimen. Therefore, the aim of our study was to identify the clinicopathologic, computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT imaging features of SD-NSCLC. Nine patients of pathologically confirmed SD-NSCLC were included in our analysis. We reviewed electronic medical records for clinical information, demographic features, CT, and PET-CT imaging features were analyzed. Smoking history and male predominance are observed in all patients with SD-NSCLC (n=9). On CT, SD-NSCLC appeared as relatively well-defined masses with lobulated contour (n=8) and peripheral location (n=7). Invasion of adjacent pleura or chest wall (n=7) were frequently observed, regardless of small tumor size. Four cases showed lymph node metastases. Among nine patients, three patients showed multiple bone metastases, and one patient showed lung-to-lung metastases. In patient with SD-NSCLC, there was tendency for male smokers, peripheral location and invasion of adjacent pleural or chest wall invasion regardless of small tumor size, when compared to SD-UT.
